SOLLI4 Qt.lit DICSKII FALSUM AUDLAT LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 13, 180 g. Orders were issued last night, for laying on a ge neral Embargo, preparatory to the sailing of the Ex pedition, which will take place immediately. Some of the Opposition Writers have, with their usual candciur, accused Government of delay, in the equipMent, of this Expedition. General charges of this kind are easily made; but we will ven- :ure to• assert, that no instance can be found in the history of this Country, in which such prompti tude has been displayed, and 'such exertions made. It is now little more than a month since the plan was first arranged, and within that time a force of upwards of 40,000 men has been prepared for fo reign service, and embarked, with an immense train of artillery, ammunition, stores, provisions, &c. suffi cient for such a large army. The greatest praiseis ' due to the Admiralty for the uncommon exertions which have .been made, to equip the Naval part of this expedition. We have this day made further extraas from the Hlmburgh, Berlin and Frankfort Papers, the arrival of which we announced yesterday. 'We should feel considerable alarm at the articles in these Papers, which state, that a Negociation is pending between Austria and France under the' mediation of Russia, if we were not convinced that they are inserted by order of BCONAPARTE, for the double purpose of ac-. counting for his song inactivity, and of paraliziog the effeas of , the people in the North of Germany, and in other parts of the Continent, who seem determi ned to seize this favourable opportunity of recover ing their independence. The Austrians, it is stated, are retreating in Saxony. .Extrael from a Second Edition of the Berlin Court Gazette, of the Ist July, 1 o , which has been printed later than those forwarded by the Ham burgh Mail : " At this moment, the tst July, at three o'clock in the afternoon, we received the followingintel!i- gence: -- EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM LEIFSTC, DATED 29TH JUNE. 4r The Westphalian troops which arrived here marched again on the 27th, in pursuit of the Austrians; the King himself followed them on the EBt h, and promised to clear Saxony of the Austrians in a few days. - According to accounts received from Dresden of the .29th, the Austrian army having received rein forcements of 5000 cavalry, which made their force 26,000 men, has taken post at Keitzenhousen, in the environs of Massen y kxpeaing tie Enemy. 'the Austrian - army is provided with a train of 50 pieces of cannon, and is commanded by General This moment a . courier from the \Vestphalian army has passed through here, to order all baggage which he rinds on the road, to return to Magdeburg . He is also to proceed to Cassel, to order all the dis pOsable troops to put themselves immediately in mo tion. Since yesterday afternoon, it is said, the roar of cption has been beard. The advices from India, which, have been brought y the convoy of the Culloden, Vice-Admiral Sir EDWARD PELLEW, are represented to be of an unfavourable nature. The letters reach to the 3:1 of February. The Expedition under General MAocoms.t had been ready from the tsith of July, but had not sailed, and waited for further dispatches from Persia, and for an answer to a reference which the General had made to Calcutta. Sir HARFORD JON ES, Iy accepting an invitation to proceed to Schi r,-Iz, had deranged the plAns of Lord Alts.iTo, but General MA.t.cohn had disapproved of the overtures. The accounts. from Bombay are not more pleasing. Differences of an alarming nature had taken place. between the British and the Governor of Travancore, And an attempt had. been, made to cut off the Presi dent, colonel. MACAULAY. The Dewan's 'troops bad attacked. our, subsidiary force at Quilon. When the fleet arrived at Cochin, Colonel MACAULAY was riing there on board the Piedinontaise, in order to prote& some companies of Sepoys, who were nearly aurrounded by the people of Travancore. We had boat about forty men in the contest. Colonel CHAT- MFRS, with his force at Quilot?, bad been attacked, And upwards of, one hundred of his men had been killed and. wounded. tiow far the Rajah of Tra-' vaneore had 'sanetioned .these disturbances is not bat the Dewan had assembled the whole force of the country, and had assumed entire com mand. The Travaneorians had killed the Rajah of Cochin and his successor, because he had refused to. join with them; but a third had been appointed, who had declared against us. It had been deemed expedient by Col. MACAULA Y to arm the Christian .. inhabitants of Travancore, many of whom, in conse quence, had suffered by order of the Dewan. The fleet had passed seven vessels off Cape ,Conoron, which were conveying the igth Regiment, sent by General MAITLAND from Colombo to Quilon. Vie regret to find that some unpleasant accounts have arrivedirom Madras. Lieutenant-Colonel MUNRO, Quarter-Master-General, "had, it seems, been put under arrest by General MACDOWAL, in consequence of some charges which had been brought against him. The arrest was removed by the Government, who ordered the charges to be withdrawn. The General, however, supported by the opinion of the majority of his Officers, refused to withdraw the charges, and demanded a Court-Martial on Colonel AluNito. The General had also declined to attend a Council which met on the subject, and had 'with some difficulty got on board the Lady Jane Dundas, to :ake his passage for Europe; the Government at t,;mpted to detain him, and had suspended several of the Officers who had concurred with him. The Earl of CHATHAM'S horses and luggage will leave London t o -mo rrow , t o b e p ut on b oar d a trans port, whi c h i s wa i t i ng f or t h at purpose near Graves end, to proceed to the Downs, where the three di visions of the Grand Expedition are to assemble. The Earl of CHAIHAM is expeded to leave Lon don on Monday or Tuesday,, to proceed to take the command of the grand Expedition. "The march of the troops for . their various destina tions on the Kent coast was completed on Tuesday. Besides the artillery already stated, 1200 horses of the Commissariat Corps of gunner drivers, from Woolwich, Chatham, and Canterbury, are ordered to accompany the Expedition ; a strong indication this that the service is Continental. They will be embarked in divisions at Northfleet and Ramsgate. A detachment of the Waggon Train is also expeCted to embark this day at atpttord. A detachment of the 7th Royal Veteran Battalion has proceeded to Deal to take charge of the Military Hospital, as soon as quitted by the troops. Yesterday, about twelve o'clock, his MAJESTY arrived at the Queen's Palace from Windsor, where he .was received by the Dukes of YORK, CUMBER LAND, and . CAMBRIDGE. At two o'clock his MA JE.snt assembled, with the Duke of YORK, as Grand Master of the Knights of the Bath, in his full robes, and Sir DAVID DUNDAS, as one of the Most Honour able Members of that Order, for the purpose ot in vesting Admiral KEATS with the Red Ribband, to which he was nominated at a Chapter holden a few months since. The Admiral was introduced by Sir DAVID DUNDAS to the Grand Master, and by him to the SOVEREIGN ; when the Admiral kneeling on a crimson velvet cushion, his isvIAJEsTy was graciously pleased to wave the Sword of State over his head, and created him a Knight. He then retired, and was introduced into the pre sence of the SOVEREIGN,, accompanied by Mr. Toi.vNsEND, Deputy Batt►, King at Arms, an d Wi . ndsor, Herald, Mr. BENNETT, who officiated for Sir ISAAC Haan), Gentleman Usher of the Scar let Rod, and the Brunswick Herald, Who . is indis posed ; also other Officers belonging- to the Herald's Office, with the red ribbon and order attached to carried upon a crimson velvet cushion, when his MAJESTY was graciously pleased to invest him, with the usual ceremonies.

" According to a report from 'General AM-ENDE, dated the 12th, the Saxon General DXFIERRN, on the approach of the , Austrian troops, left Dresden with 3700. men, and retreated to Wilsdruff. In the night of the tith he however .made an attack on the advanced posts established towards Freiberg, and probably flattered himself that he would re-take pos session of the town, by a surprise, but the Duke of. Brunswick proceeded against him with the advanced guard, obliged him to fly rapidly, and pursued him towards Frieberg. Several waggons with Saxon wounded prisoners have arrived at Dresden. " The insurreCtion troops took a position as a corps of observation behind the Raab, not far from the town ,of that unite, and extended by Szabad- Hegy, the right wing resting on the Raab. The height of Kys-Megyer, which formed a salient an-. gle'in the front, was mounted with cannon, and the Mayerhof was defended by infantry. On the left wing was the cavalry, consisting of new raised regiments of Hussars. As the enemy had several days before mide attacks on the advanced posts, and had sent detachments across the Upper, Raab, the Archduke JOHN hastened, with a part of the army-corps under his command, by Papa, to support his brother the Archduke PALATINE, and on the 12th had already formed a jnnEtion with him' near Raab. On the 13th the enemy's advanced, guard • had penetrated the vineyards of Czauak, from which, on the 14th, the Archduke PALATINE retreated.— The enemy, however, anticipated the attack - , and drove in our advanced posts. The Viceroy of Italy, who was. reinforced by Marshal D'AvousT's corps, deployed also with 30,000 men by Czauak and Kis- Barat towards Puszta-Taplau. Front this position at one o'clock a. m. the enemy made an attack on the whole of our line, and endeavoured, by vigorous charges, to break through our centre. Columns of infantry advanced to the attack, and were driven back. " Our infantry were drawn up in_ two echelons, and advanced in masses. All the attacks of the enemy were abortive, until at length he succeed ed in taking the Maherbof and the Chapel of Kys- Megyer. From this ruomant the battle became general, and the heights of Sz thad Hegy formed the scene on which each further step of the enemy was fotight for. Under a heavy tire of artillery ; the attack was repeatedly renewed and repelled.— The enemy manceuvered at the same time against both 'wings, which, notwithstanding that the centre maintained its position, were at last compelled to give way. This occasioned .a retreat, which took place at five p. m. by St. Javan, in the direaion of Aes. Field Marshals - .MEcsmicv and FRIMoNT co vered the retreat, opposing the pursuit of the enemy, who advanced no farther . than Goenyoe, where night put an end to the contest. On the fulljwing day the Archduke PALATINE proceeded to Kornorn, as the large plain of the Aes affoided no advantageous posi tion. " The loss on our side was from 1500 to 2000 Men, in killed and wounded. The. loss of the enemy must be far greater, as he was constantly exposed to a heavy fire of musketry. " The division of the. Bavarian General DEIcOY has suffered another defeat in the Tyrol. Thus have the brave Tyrolians a second time conquered their freedom. All the Innthal is delivered from the enemy. General DEROY has arrived, with the stria]] remains of his corps, at Rosenheim, in -Ba- varja." GOTHA, JUNE e7.—The Austrians, after having sent their patroles to Auerstadt, three miles from Weimar, have retreated from tie neighbourhood of Naumburgh and Weissonfels. LoutsaurtGlx, JUNE 24.—His Majesty has re ceived accounts from the head -quarters of the Ob servation Corps in 'Upper Swabia, which state that on the 20th the Insurgents Of the Voraiberg, to the number of three thousand, from Bregenby and Wan- gen attacked Lindau. They were, -however, re pulsed with great loss. On the 19th they .also attacked the posts at Kempten, with a 'superior force, but they were compelled to fall back, with the kiss of 100 killed; and at least an equal number of wounded. On, Monday two battalions march hence to reinforce Lieut.-General VON Pnur,L. SALTZBURGH, JUNE• 21.—Travellers direct from Trieste, state, that a war contribution of ten mil lions of francs' has been required of that town.— (The report of a contributiOn of fifty millions of francs is certainly exaggerated and false.) As the first instalment, amounting to . two millions, was , not paid at the appointed. time, hostages have been , taken from the principal houses, and sent to Palma Nuova. It is known that Trieste is not among the number of those Maritime towns where great riches prevail. Seven/'houses there have lately lost large sums in unstxxessful speculations in colonial produce. ‘FRANFioRT, JUNE 27.--The Colonel-Genera: Marshal the Duke of Abrantes proceeded yesterd,iy. afternoon front hence to Hanau to assume. his ntv: command. It is believed that the head -quarters of the army of observation will soon be removed ft - oli; Hanau to Fulda, in order to farm an immediate junaion with the army of the King of ,Westphalia, and that the united army, after completely drivinL. the Austrians out of Saxony, will make a divenioo in' Bohemia. BANKS Or TEES MAYN, JUNE 27.—The Austrian Corps in Saxony is now under the command of Field-Marshal KIEN74AYER. The Brunswickers and Hessians only are commanded by General Am- EN DE. Letters from Paris state, that serious negociations. for Peace aro carrying on, and that NAPOLEON 'will certainly celebrate his birth-day (the 15th of Au gust) in the French capital. HANG FR, JUNE 30.—0 n the lath the head quarters of the Dutch General GRATIES were at Col ciiz, between Leipsic and Dresden. The Dutch and Westplmlians had united, and the King of West phalia expeaed on the 30th to enter Dresden. WARSAW, JUNI , . 26.—According to reports from the Polish head-quarters at Pniow, dated on the 13th the General of Cavalry, , ROSNIECK, who distin guished -himself so much as Commander of the Po lish Legion in Italy, defeated the Austrian corps un der General SCHANROTTI, 12,500, strong, near Pavia, on the 9th, and also obtained another victory on the 12th, on the San. Large magazines of provisions, &c. have been found at Sulgostow and Nowemiasto, which the Austrians had not time to remove. STRALSUND, JULY I.—The Swedish Major AR... VEDSON, who is returned from Vienna, which he left on the 2Gth, embarked here yesterday for. Sw eden. FRANKFORT, JUNS 29.—The King Of SAXONY has issued two Proclamations here, one addressed to the Poles of the Duchy of Warsaw, and the other to his Saxon subjects. LEIPZIG, JUNE eG.—According to certain infor- marion from Frankfort, negociations fora Peace be , tween France and Austria are carrying on, under the mediation of Russia. We'are in hopes that our So vereign will soon return here. PEAG VE, JUNE s.—The army of the Archduke CHARLES, which is now 160,000 strong, and is daily increasing in force, has thrown uP fortiaca tions on different points of the Danube, and adheres to its plan of defensive operations. The Archduke however sends detachments to Hungary and Germa ny to alarm the rear of the enemy. It also appears to be intended in a short time to have more corps aaing under Generals KLENAU, KIENMAYER, and T EIMER in Saxony, Franconia, and Swabia. LEIPSIC, JUNE day about noon the King of Westphalia left this coy, and advanced with the whole of his army to the neighbourhood of Dresden. Before his departure he was waited on by a Deputa tion of the Magistracy. His Majesty issued. hie the following ORDER OF ,THE DAY. " Soldiers, the rapidity of our march, and the perfeEt combination of our movetnents have had the same etfea on the enemy as if he had lOst a battle. " Only the day before yesterday he insulted our allies, and threatened nothing less than fire and de strualion to our towns and villages. To day he flies full of terror before us. }le has scarce been . able to bear the' look of our advanced posts. " He occupied eight days in advancing tom Dres den to Leipsic, and has obtained no ~ d van►age, ex cept discovering that it requires only two days to ar iive from Leipsic to Dresden. " He believed us still on the Banks o f the Fulde, while we were on the Saul!. He did not suppose, it seems, that we would enc(innter either fatigue or danger, even when it was necessary to hasten to our worthy ally, the King of Saxony. " Soldiers! you have obtained a right to the friendship of the brave 'Saxons, and you may in a si milar case reckon on their assistance with the same noble confidence as they have relied on you.
